APPARATUS FOR RECOVER/ENG VAPORS ISSUED FROM VOLATILE LIQUIDS.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be t known that we, HENRI DIAMANTI and Grannies LAMBER'I", citizens of the Republic have invented a new and useful Apparatus for Recovering Vapors Issued from Volatile Liquids,- which process is fully set forth in the following specification.

The object of the present invention is to condense vapors contained in a room and to prevent re-vaporization of the condensed liquid by the uncondensed vapors remaining in the room.

By nieanspf the apparatus forming the subject of the invention the liquid of condensation is protected from the vapors and air contained in the room so that said vapors and air cannot impart \varmth'to said liquid and so re-vaporizethe same, and this is accomplished without cooling the entire vol-- ume of air and. vapor in the room. The channel for holding the liquid of condensation is placed under the condenser and said channel is so formed that above the liquid there exists a layer of air which in proportion to the remaining volume of air in the room is very small. This layer of air is cooled by a suitable cooling medium so that the temperature of said layer of air will be lowered, and thus the reevaporization ol -th'e layer of air on account of its lower temperature has a greater density than the remaining air which is of a higher temperature, there is no danger that it will rise and be mixed with the warmer air. a

The drawing shows a cross section of a form of device for carrying out the subject of the invention.

The cooling body a is made of copper, and contains a suitable-cooling medium. On the vapor mixed with air in the surrounding space or room. The drops formed hereby, trickle down and are collected in thecollectlg channel I), which is so formed that over the condensed liquid a layer of air exists inclosed by it, which is kept to thedes'ired lower temperature by means of a cooling Patented April 27, 1909.

medium. This cooling medium is, by way of example, contained-in a hollow space formed by a wall (,1, on the collecting channel b. This layer of air of a low temperature over the condensing liquid protects the same from the influence of the outside air which is of a higher temperature, so that all vreevaporal'ion is prevented, although the en tire volume of air of the room does not vapors mixed with air and other gases conn prising a condensing element in which a. cooling medium is passed, a collecting channel below said element adapted to" receive the condensed vapors therefrom, said channel being so formed that the body of the gas is held therein above the. condensed vapor, and means for cooling the (:Ol'lLlOHSQtl vapor and said body of gas;
